På vilket sätt påverkas konsumenter av företags kommunikation omhållbarhet? : En studie om konsumenters förtroende, attityder och köpintention / In which way are consumers affected by corporate communication aboutsustainability?

Johnsson, Filippa, Lillskog, Emelie January 2021 (has links)
Purpose: The purpose of the study is to investigate the ways in which sustainable market communication and greenwashing affect consumers' trust, attitude and purchase intention. We will also examine the relationship between consumer trust and attitudes towards companies and the customers' purchase intention. Theory: The theoretical framework of the study is based on theories about the factors that affect consumers in connection with sustainable marketing communication and greenwashing. Method: For the study, a deductive approach was used through a quantitative research method. Data was collected through an online survey that was answered by 109 respondents. Findings: The regression analysis showed that sustainable market communication affects consumer trust, attitude and purchase intention. In connection with sustainable marketing communication, the purchase intention affects consumers' attitudes but not their trust. The results also showed that greenwashing has an effect on consumer trust and attitude. On the other hand, the results show that greenwashing does not affect consumers' purchase intention. Conclusion: The study shows that companies through sustainable marketing communication and greenwashing have several effects on consumers. Sustainable marketing communication has a positive impact on consumers while greenwashing has a negative impact on consumers. The study shows that sustainable marketing communication has a positive effect on consumer trust, attitudes and purchase intention. When consumers have a positive attitude towards the company, their purchase intention is positively affected. Greenwashing instead negatively affects consumers' trust and attitude. When consumers gain a negative trust or attitude towards the company, their purchase intention is negatively affected. Contribution: The study contributes with research on consumers trust, attitudes and purchase intention in connection with sustainable marketing communication and greenwashing. By combining the concepts of trust and attitudes, the study complements existing research insustainable marketing communication and greenwashing. The results can be of importance for managers and marketers in the design of marketing strategies of sustainability. The study gives companies an explanation of how their communication affects consumers. This essay is written in swedish / Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka på vilket sätt hållbar marknadskommunikation och greenwashing påverkar konsumenters förtroende, attityd och köpintention. Vi ska även undersöka sambandet mellan konsumenters förtroende samt attityder gentemot företag och konsumenters köpintention. Teoretisk referensram: Studiens teoretiska referensram grundar sig i befintliga teorier om vilka faktorer som påverkar konsumenter i samband med hållbar marknadskommunikation och greenwashing. Metod: För studien användes en deduktiv ansats i samband med en kvantitativforskningsmetod. Insamling av data genomfördes med en enkätundersökning online som besvarades av 109 respondenter. Resultat: Regressionsanalysen visade att hållbar marknadskommunikation påverkarkonsumenters förtroende, attityd samt köpintention. I samband med hållbarmarknadskommunikation påverkades köpintentionen av konsumenters attityd men inte av deras förtroende. Resultaten visade även att greenwashing har effekter på konsumenters förtroende och attityd. I samband med greenwashing påverkades konsumenters attityd och förtroende deras köpintention. Däremot framgår det av resultatet att greenwashing inte påverkade konsumenters köpintention. Slutsats: Studien visar att företag genom hållbar marknadskommunikation och greenwashing har flera effekter på konsumenter. Hållbar marknadskommunikation har en positiv inverkan på konsumenter medan greenwashing har en negativ inverkan på konsumenter. Studien visar att hållbar marknadskommunikation påverkar konsumenters förtroende, attityder och köpintention positivt. När konsumenter får positiv attityd gentemot företag påverkas deras köpintention positivt. Greenwashing påverkar istället konsumenters förtroende och attityder negativt. När konsumenter får negativt förtroende eller attityder gentemot företag påverkas deras köpintention negativt. Uppsatsen bidrag: Studien bidrar med forskning om konsumenters förtroende, attityder och köpintention i samband med hållbar marknadskommunikation och greenwashing. Genom att kombinera begreppen förtroende och attityder kompletterar studien befintlig forskning inom hållbar marknadskommunikation och greenwashing. Resultaten kan vara betydande för chefer och marknadsförare vid utformandet av marknadsföringsstrategier i samband med hållbarhet. Studien ger företag en förklaring till hur deras kommunikation påverkar konsumenter.

Grön Köpintention under en Kris : En kvantitativ undersökning om konsumenter bosatta i Sverige under pågående Covid-19 kris / Green purchase intention during a crisis : A quantitative study on consumers living in Sweden during the Covid-19 crisis

Facca, Jessica, Persson, Linn, Rosendahl, Madeleine January 2021 (has links)
Frågeställning: I vilken utsträckning finns det samband mellan konsumenter bosatta i Sverige och deras Gröna Köpintention under en pågående kris? Syfte: Syftet med studien är att undersöka konsumenter bosatta i Sverige och deras Gröna Köpintention gentemot livsmedel under en pågående kris. Detta för att klargöra och analysera, samt ge en ökad förståelse kring ämnet. Metod: En kvantitativ ansats med tvärsnittsdesign har använts för studien. Webbaserade enkäter användes för insamling av primärdata. För att öka arbetets validitet har enkätfrågorna tagits från tidigare forskning. Vidare genomfördes en pilotundersökning före publicering av enkäten. Det totala urvalet inkluderade 354 respondenter varav 6 bortfall. Slutsats: Studien visade att det fanns ett samband mellan svenska konsumenter och deras Gröna Köpintention under en pågående kris. Det framkom att Sociodemografiska egenskaper inte hade något samband med Grön Köpintention i en krissituation, med undantag för kön. Däremot fanns det ett samband mellan Attityd mot Beteendet, Subjektiv Norm och Upplevd Beteendekontroll mot Grön Köpintention under en kris. Respondenterna visade en positiv attityd gentemot Grön Köpintention vilket kan grundas i en uppåtgående trend gentemot en hållbar livsstil före krisen och en ökning av Gröna alternativ i butiker. Vidare kan krisen även ha gett konsumenter utrymme för att se över sina vanor och därav deras Gröna Intentioner. / Research question: To what extent is there a correlation between consumers living in Sweden and their green purchase intention during an ongoing crisis? Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine consumers living in Sweden and their green purchase intention during an ongoing crisis. This to clarify and analyze the subject as well as contribute with further knowledge. Method: A quantitive approach with a cross-sectional design has been used for this study. Web-based surveys were used to collect the primary data. To increase the validity of this study, the survey questions were formed after previous research. Furthermore, a pilot-study was conducted prior to the publication of the survey. The total sample-size included 354 respondents, of which 6 were not in the criteria-range. Conclusion: The study showed that there was a correlation between Swedish consumers and their green purchase intention during an ongoing crisis. It emerged that socio-demographic attributes did not correlate with green purchase intention, with the exception of gender. However, there was a correlation between attitude towards behavior, subjective norm and perceived behavioral control towards green purchase intention during an ongoing crisis. The respondents showed a positive attitude towards green purchase intention, which can be based on an upward trend towards a sustainable lifestyle that has emerged prior to the crisis and an increase in green alternatives in stores. Furthermore, the crisis may also have given consumers space to review their habits and therefore their green intentions.

A study about purchase intentions for a green durable good / En studie om köpintentionen för en produkt med lång livslängd

Persson, Johanna January 2018 (has links)
Background Due to increased environmental issues around the world, people are getting more and more aware of the effects of their consumption and their influence on the environment. Companies have therefore started to provide green products to the market to satisfy customer demand. However, there is a lack of knowledge in the literature when it comes to what customers really value when it comes to green products. Mainly green durable goods, as well as their determinants and what affects their green purchase intentions.   Purpose The purpose of the study is therefore, to analyze what green determinants affect purchase intention for floors as an example of a green durable good. A related purpose is to investigate how green production attitude and consumption attitude impact floor purchase intention. The results of the investigation could help the floor manufacturers better understand what is valued by the consumer and thus be able to invest right resources for right action to meet customer needs.   Method This study was a survey study using primary quantitative analysis and data collecting. The questionnaires were conducted with 97 participants around Sweden using social media and an online questionnaire. The data were tested through different reliability and validity tests and other kinds of statistical tests to analyze the proposed theoretical research model with help of SPSS and AMOS.   Results Environmental production attitude (determinants of green production) significantly affects the purchase intention for durable goods. Environmental consumption attitude could not be tested due to failing in the reliability and validity tests, and therefore no confirmation about the effect of these determinants could be drawn.   Conclusion For consumers in general, the perceived greenness of a floor lays in the determinants of the production which this study can prove.   Delimitations This study has only focused on the Swedish demand-side when it comes to purchase intention for green durable goods and the effects of this and not the supply-side. Furthermore, the purchase intention is limited to today´s circumstances and the changes over time have not been under consideration. The product choice has been durable goods, with particular attention to floors. / Bakgrund På grund av ökade miljöfrågor runt om i världen blir människor mer och mer medvetna om effekterna av konsumtionen och deras påverkan på miljön. Företagen har därför börjat tillhandahålla miljövänliga produkter på marknaden för att tillgodose kundernas efterfrågan. Det finns dock brist på kunskap i litteraturen när det kommer till vad kunder verkligen värdesätter när det gäller gröna produkter, speciellt produkter med lång livslängd. Liksom deras bestämmande faktorer och vad som verkligen påverkar deras gröna köpintentioner.   Syfte Syftet med studien är därför att analysera vilka miljövänliga påverkningsfaktorer som finns för golv, som är ett exempel på en produkt med lång livslängd. Ett relaterat syfte är att undersöka hur den miljövänliga produktionsattityden och konsumtionsattityden påverkar köpintentionen för golv. Resultaten av undersökningen är till för att golvtillverkaren bättre ska förstå vad som värderas utifrån konsumenten och därmed kunna investera rätt resurser på rätt aktivitet för att på så sätt möta konsumenternas behov.   Metod Denna studie var en undersökningsstudie som främst nyttjat primär kvantitativ analys och datainsamling. Frågeformulären genomfördes med 97 deltagare runt om i Sverige med hjälp av sociala medier och ett online frågeformulär. Den insamlade datan testades genom olika pålitlighets- och validitetstester samt andra typer av statistiska tester för att analysera den teoretiska forskningmodellen med hjälp av SPSS och AMOS.   Resultat Attityd för miljövänlig produktion (bestämmande faktorer för grön produktion) har signifikant effekt på köpintensiteten för produkter med lång livslängd. Attityd för miljövänlig konsumtion kunde inte testas på grund av brist på pålitlighet och validitet och därför kunde ingen slutsats/analys av effekten på dessa faktorer dras.   Slutsatser För konsumenter i allmänhet ligger den uppfattade miljövänligheten hos en miljövänlig produkt med lång livslängd i produktionsattributen, vilket denna studie kan bevisa.   Avgränsningar Denna studie har endast fokuserat på den svenska efterfrågesidan när det gäller köpintentioner för produkter med lång livslängd och effekterna av detta och inte utbudssidan. Vidare är köpintentionen begränsad till dagens omständigheter och förändringarna över tiden har inte varit föremål för överväganden. Produktvalet har varit varaktiga varor, med särskild hänsyn till golv.

The Influence of e-WOM through SNS on Brand Perception and Consumer Purchase Intention: Study on Bangladeshi consumers.

Podder, Pronab Swarup, Tanjee, Kaniz Sawda January 2021 (has links)
Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the influence e-WOM through social network sites has on consumers focusing on brand perception and purchase intention.  Methodology: A qualitative study was applied with the semi-structured online interview conducted with nine respondents across Bangladesh. The collected primary data were transcribed and thematically analyzed with the reviewed literature.  Findings and Conclusion: We conclude that e-WOM through SNS helps consumers to select smartphones and gadgets. Due to paid reviews and negative influencers, trustworthiness is vital on SNS reviews. Also, the recommendation from known sources or personal research increases brand perception. Rather than relying on single reviews on SNS, it is highly recommended to justify the reviews for purchase intention of smartphones or gadgets. Contribution of the Thesis: This study suggests that e-WOM through SNS influences consumers' purchase of smartphones or gadget brands. It is recommended for the managers to determine reviewers on SNS regarding smartphone or gadget brands. Besides, this study exposes the importance of trustworthiness in SNS reviews.  Suggestion for the Future Research: We suggest future research on a similar topic using a larger sample size. We also propose a comparative study with two or more countries on similar products to determine differences and results relatively. Besides, this study only focused on smartphones or gadget items; focusing on different products with larger audiences might be done for future research. Furthermore, future research could be done
